A friend of the Meeting, but also a personal friend to those of us who had the honor and the gift of meeting him. A friendship that brought him to the Meeting many times, but one that, as he loved to recount, was born from another friendship, the one with <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Luigi Giussani<\/span><\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"2327\"><em>It was June 1987: Giussani was in Japan for a conference and, through a series of encounters and circumstances, found himself climbing Mount Koya, the center of Shingon Buddhism, where Habukawa was then master of novices. \u201cI will never forget that extraordinary day as long as I live, when Monsignor Giussani appeared before my eyes. We remained embraced in silence for a few moments, without the need to say a word.\u201d From the encounter with Giussani to the encounter with the Meeting was a short step.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2329\" data-end=\"2950\"><em>I still remember the early years of his participation, when the harmony and affection that were growing between us coexisted with a certain degree of inevitable formalism, due to respect for traditions, rituals and gestures. But soon friendship prevailed over everything. Because, as Habukawa said in one of his talks, Mystery generates friendship. And Mystery was the great presence that dominated his life. He always held his rosary in his hands, and I remember how the slight movement of his lips was the sign that the passing of those beads marked an uninterrupted dialogue with Someone real and present in his heart.<\/em><\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-grid x-container max width e293944-e34 m6at4-h\"><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e35 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e36 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-7.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e37 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e38 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-6.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e39 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e40 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-5.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e41 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e42 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-4.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e43 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e44 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-3.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e45 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e46 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-2.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e47 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e48 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-1.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e293944-e49 m6at4-i\"><span class=\"x-image e293944-e50 m6at4-c m6at4-e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingrimini.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slide-show-Habukawa-8.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row e293944-e51 m6at4-3 m6at4-4 m6at4-9\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e293944-e52 m6at4-a\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e293944-e53 m6at4-g\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"><strong>Il viaggio indimenticabile del 2011 al Monte Koya<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e293944-e54 m6at4-f\"><p data-start=\"2952\" data-end=\"4060\"><em>How many times, through the words of Habukawa and the monks who accompanied him each year to Rimini, had we heard about the beauty of Mount Koya and seen its images! Finally, in October 2011, we too were able to experience the charm of those places, where the beauty of nature and the attraction of its Creator appear in an evident yet mysterious dialogue. In the context of a cultural initiative promoted by the Italian Embassy, in which the Meeting was also involved, we had the opportunity to spend two days at Mount Koya. Cultural meetings, seminars, relationships: an immense richness and some unforgettable moments. The long morning prayer that Habukawa (by then rector) celebrated in splendid golden vestments, and the chapel where, with moved amazement, we found on the altar the photo of <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">John Paul II<\/span><\/span>, of Giussani and of Don Francesco Ricci, for whom the monks prayed every day.
